E! ANNOUNCES "AFTER SHOCK: HEIDI & SPENCER," AN ALL-NEW SPECIAL WITH ONE OF REALITY TELEVISION'S MOST NOTORIOUS COUPLES, PREMIERING DECEMBER 9 AT 10:00PM

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Discuss Their Meteoric Rise to Fame and Their New Lives Outside of the Spotlight

Los Angeles, CA - November 18, 2013 - In an exclusive special, E! goes behind the scandalous headlines, tabloid covers and over-the-top rumors of one of reality television's most infamous couples when "After Shock: Heidi & Spencer" premieres Monday, December 9 at 10:00pm. The hour-long special features the former prince and princess of reality television sitting for an exclusive in-depth interview, examining their past attention-grabbing exploits, the ups and downs of their very public personas and revealing their plans for a family.

Over the past 5 years, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (aka: "Speidi") went from being on top of the world as the villainous stars of the reality series, "The Hills," to living a quiet, suburban life in Santa Barbara. In their prime, they were the talk of Hollywood with their image splashed across magazine covers each and every week, lavish $10,000 a day shopping sprees, Heidi's extreme plastic surgery choices and paparazzi following their every move. They had the money, cars, the fame and all the trappings that come with celebrity, but when their show went off the air, their empire came crashing down. "The second [The Hills] ended, in 2010, the jig's up. Now you're irrelevant. Your fifteen minutes are up," Spencer tells E!

How does Heidi look now and will the famous couple return to the limelight or stay away from the cameras and settle on a quiet family life in Santa Barbara? Find out when "After Shock: Heidi & Spencer" premieres Monday, December 9 at 10:00pm only on E!
